COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) named three Ohio State rowers to the sixth annual 2004 All-America first and second teams. Senior Tatiana Grigorieva and junior Diana Albrecht were All-America first-team honorees, while freshman Annabelle Fago received second-team accolades. All three were members of the Buckeyes’ first varsity eight, which was ranked No. 1 nationally for five consecutive weeks and finished fifth at the NCAA championships.
Grigorieva is a three-time All-Big Ten honoree and a two-time All-Central Region selection. The Moscow, Russia, native has rowed in the first varsity eight since arriving at Ohio State in 2001. This season, Grigorieva served as the stroke of the Buckeyes’ top boat. Albrecht, of Dresden, Germany, sat in the six and seven seats of the first varsity eight and was named an All-Big Ten and All-Central Region honoree.
Earlier this year, Fago was named the 2004 Big Ten Rowing Freshman of the Year and to the All-Central Region first team. The Giessen, Germany, native sat in the six and seven seats of the first varsity eight and was one of three freshmen in the Buckeyes’ top boat. Fago was a member of the German National Team from 2000-03 and helped the squad to silver medals at the 2000 and 2002 World Championships.
The All-America award is designed to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of female rowers and coxswains during the current season. The teams were selected by the regional chairpersons following the NCAA championships from the rowers who had received all-region first team honors.
